Today I am hosting A Giveaway Gala.....A Features Fete, whatever you want to call it....please read on as I have a fabulous giveaway for you!
I have known about this press for several months now, and since the new Summer issue of Romantic Country Magazine is now out I want to share a bit of lovely news with you.
As you may (or may not!) know I have a website shop (shabbyfufu.com) and we've been on the internet for over 12 years now.....hard to believe how the time has flown by! We offer products both new and old, commercial and handmade by several artisan friends (and moi). One of the artists who sells her beautiful work exclusively on Shabbyfufu is my dear friend Farnaz Farzad, who has been with us for quite a few years. She is a true artist who specializes in porcelain painting, not to mention a beautiful person both inside and out. I'm so thrilled that Farnaz is featured with a 2 page spread in this issue of RC!
The photos were taken at her home and studio in Los Angeles by the talented stylist and photographer Sunday Hendrickson.
The entire issue of Romantic Country is just GORGEOUS, and it's bittersweet that we recently learned it will be the last issue edited by the Fabulous Fifi O'Neill. If you don't subscribe (you should!) it's now out on the newsstands......
In honor of this issue and Farnaz's article we have a FABULOUS Giveaway for you! Farnaz painted a special porcelain tea set with her trademark Pink Roses just for this giveaway, and it's one that is not yet available on our website! You'll receive the exquisite covered teapot, the creamer and the covered sugar bowl. Included in this giveaway will also be a variety of teas for you to enjoy from her family business Teanoosh. This portion of the giveaway has a value of over $175....and rules to WIN this giveaway will be below......
The teas at Teanoosh teas are all organic and hand picked blends, so if you have a moment please go to their website.
I want to thank my dear friend FIFI for offering a SIGNED COPY of her new book Romantic Prairie Style to add to this giveaway! The book is just gorgeous....from cover to cover filled with Fifi's magical touch. It's a bestseller at Amazon, so if you don't have a copy yet...here is your chance to win a copy autographed by Fifi herself!.......
I've been so honored to work with the fabulous Fifi for several years now, ever since she first started out at Romantic Country and came here for a few days to photograph my home. I'm tickled to see some of the linens that she asked me to sew up for her own home shoot in the book........
And honored to have my shop listed as a shopping source, among some other fine shops......
So....I guess that you want to know how to win these fabulous prizes, oui?
1. Leave a comment on this post for one entry (don't be shy, I won't bite!).....
2. Become a new follower publicly or let me know if you are a follower already for a second entry....
3. Mention this on your blog and use the button that I've made up on your sidebar with a link to this post, then leave me another comment for a third entry......
4. Tweet this giveaway on Twitter for a fourth entry.....
I'll draw a winner randomly on April 15th (two weeks from today).

What a beautiful and generous giveaway, Janet.
Congratulations to Farnaz and to Shabbyfufu for the Romantic Country feature. I haven't received my magazine yet, but hope it arrives in tomorrow's mail. It's quite touching that this feature is in sweet Fifi's last issue w/RC since you two have worked together for so many years.
I can't say enough good/great/grand things about Romantic Prairie Style and of course, Fifi. She holds a special place in my heart as do you.
You know, I will re-tweet and put your lovely giveaway button on my blog for your giveaway.
Have a great weekend, cher Janet!
